You’re invited to attend one of our performances to see our students tell the story of how Emily Book, the lone survivor of a horrible school bus accident ten years earlier, who is sent away from the tiny town of Spring Farm. Now, in her senior year, Emily must return in order to graduate from high school. When she arrives, shy and guarded, Emily is unwillingly thrust into the whirlwind of Spring Farm High. Guided by her Biology teacher, Mr. Christopher, and befriended by head cheerleader, Jenny McGrath, Emily must learn to fit in with her classmates while yearning to stay out of the spotlight. But when Jenny's life is threatened in a dangerous stunt at the homecoming basketball game, Emily reveals her true powers as she saves Jenny's life in a stunning display of telekinetic heroism. Thus, Spring Farm's own superhero, "The Sparrow," is born. Can this strange girl with even stranger powers be the hero that her town is longing for, or will her dark secret destroy them all? The Sparrow taps into the fundamental aching of adolescence—fearing that we're somehow different while hoping that we're somehow special. (adapted from the publishing company). A play by Chris Mathews, Jake Minton and Nathan Allen. Content Advisory: The Sparrow presents mature themes that may be controversial to some viewers. Given that, our suggested audience is Grade 8 to 12 and beyond. Students in elementary school are not recommended to attend, unless accompanied by their parent.
